Nicky Votaw was one of the many California Valley natives that grew up listening to both her mother and the radio sing the SJVC jingle.  In her words, she “heard it all the time, every day.” 
After a run around a few schools and a job as a pre-school teacher, Nicky stated, “I knew if I wanted to do something and have my own family, I needed to go out, find a job and get some education and a real career.”  But as a Pharmacy Tech student who enjoyed her externship, she never expected to stay in the SJVC Student Center after graduation.
